The fully containerised \u2018plug &amp; play\u2019 unit provides ship owners with a mobile and cost-effective alternative to retrofitting fixed BWT systems. This will also give port authorities the versatility to improve their services that they can offer ship owners.\n\nInvaSave represents the close cooperation between Damen and Groningen Seaports, the port authority handling the Dutch ports of Delfzijl and Eemshaven. Other partner organisations include Van Gansewinkel and Royal Wagenborg in addition to Dutch marine research institutes Imares and MEA-nl.\n\nAnother important partner was the \u2018Waddenfonds\u2019 \u2013 a Dutch foundation involved with the preservation of the Wadden Sea \u2013 who provided significant financial support to establishing the project.\n\n<strong>Forward thinkers<\/strong>\nDelfzijl and Eemshaven are situated on the coast of the Wadden Sea, an area containing the largest unbroken system of intertidal sand and mud flats in the world. Due to this biological and physical distinctiveness, the area has been designated a UNESCO world heritage site.\n\n\u201cWe teamed up with Groningen Seaports to develop this technology. With the Wadden Sea on their doorstep, this is an important issue for them,\u201d says Damen Green Solutions Product Manager Matthijs Schuiten. \u201cIt has been a pleasure to work with them towards their goal of a \u2018green\u2019 harbour environment. Their progressive way of thinking has played a very important role in the entire project.\u201d\n\n<strong>Ready for ratification<\/strong>\n\u201cOur location on the Wadden Sea means that we have a responsibility to push forward the progress of sustainable shipping,\u201d comments Groningen Seaports Sustainability Coordinator Bart van der Kolk. \u201cWe are fully prepared for the ratification of the IMO Ballast Water Management Convention. This project wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the effort of some frontrunners like Royal Wagenborg, Van Gansewinkel, Imares, MEA-nl and Damen.\u201d\n<strong>\nAdvancing sustainability<\/strong>\nExpected to attract around 600,000 visitors, DelfSail is a periodic sailing festival that takes place in Delfzijl, in the north of the Netherlands. More than 30 traditional sailing ships \u2013 including schooners, three-masters and barques \u2013 will be attending the 5-day event this year.\n\nVisitors to DelfSail will be able to view the Damen InvaSave unit at the SummerLabb, a Dutch exhibition platform dedicated to informing the public about sustainable issues. \u201cWe are very pleased to exhibit the InvaSave unit and to share it with the tens of thousands of people who will visit SummerLabb,\u201d comments Jan Douwe Kroeske, creator of the SummerLabb. \u201cIt marks a substantial advance in the field of ballast water treatment. It is fitting that the first unit will be operational in the Wadden Sea: an area of considerable ecological importance on an international level.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Groningen Seaports first in line for Damen InvaSave Ballast water treatment system will be displayed at \u2018DelfSail\u2019 sailing festival The first production version of Damen\u2019s InvaSave ballast water treatment system \u2013 intended for use at Groningen Seaports \u2013 will be on display at the upcoming \u2018DelfSail\u2019 sailing festival between 30 June and 3 July in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-innovation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
